\section synopsis SYNOPSIS

\verbatim
pdf2dcm [options] pdffile-in dcmfile-out
\endverbatim

\section description DESCRIPTION

The \b pdf2dcm utility reads a PDF file (\e pdffile-in), converts it
to a DICOM Encapsulated PDF Storage SOP instance and stores the
converted data to an output file (\e dcmfile-out).

\section parameters PARAMETERS

\verbatim
pdffile-in   PDF input filename to be converted

dcmfile-out  DICOM output filename
\endverbatim

\section command_line COMMAND LINE

All command line tools use the following notation for parameters: square
brackets enclose optional values (0-1), three trailing dots indicate that
multiple values are allowed (1-n), a combination of both means 0 to n values.

Command line options are distinguished from parameters by a leading '+' or '-'
sign, respectively.  Usually, order and position of command line options are
arbitrary (i.e. they can appear anywhere).  However, if options are mutually
exclusive the rightmost appearance is used.  This behaviour conforms to the
standard evaluation rules of common Unix shells.

In addition, one or more command files can be specified using an '@' sign as a
prefix to the filename (e.g. <em>\@command.txt</em>).  Such a command argument
is replaced by the content of the corresponding text file (multiple
whitespaces are treated as a single separator) prior to any further
evaluation.  Please note that a command file cannot contain another command
file.  This simple but effective approach allows to summarize common
combinations of options/parameters and avoids longish and confusing command
lines (an example is provided in file <em>share/data/dumppat.txt</em>).

\section environment ENVIRONMENT

The \b pdf2dcm utility will attempt to load DICOM data dictionaries specified
in the \e DCMDICTPATH environment variable.  By default, i.e. if the
\e DCMDICTPATH environment variable is not set, the file
<em>\<PREFIX\>/lib/dicom.dic</em> will be loaded unless the dictionary is built
into the application (default for Windows).

The default behaviour should be preferred and the \e DCMDICTPATH environment
variable only used when alternative data dictionaries are required.  The
\e DCMDICTPATH environment variable has the same format as the Unix shell
\e PATH variable in that a colon (":") separates entries.  The data dictionary
code will attempt to load each file specified in the \e DCMDICTPATH
environment variable.  It is an error if no data dictionary can be loaded.
